Default 1998 Z28 Dilemma

Here is the rundown on the car:
1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28
122,XXX miles
Black exterior (7.5/10)
Dark charcoal leather Interior (8/10)
LS1 engine
4L60E transmission
Stock 10 bolt, 2.73 gear rear end
T-Tops
Power windows, power door locks
4 BRAND NEW BF Goodrich g-Force Sport tires (75% tread)

Modifications:
TCI SSF3500 stall converter
B&M Transmission cooler
Texas Speed custom camshaft: Torquer 2: 232/234 duration, 595/.598 lift 113 LSA
Hardened push rods
PRC dual valve springs rated to .650 lift
Ported LS6 oil pump
Dual timing chain
LS6 Intake manifold
BMR boxed weld-in subframe connectors
BMR tubular lower control arms
Removed EGR and AIR components
Aluminum driveshaft
Pioneer MP7700 CD Player, also reads CDs with MP3 format on them
Viper Alarm System
Pacesetter Long-Tube headers
TSP Intake lid
SLP Flow-Pac kit

350 RWHP/ 353 RWTQ
12.591 @ 112 MPH with a 1.977 60’

I purchased the car with 86,000 miles on it and have owned it since. I have done my very best to keep its condition to its highest level possible.



Question:
The transmission went out about 2 weeks ago. I'm up in the air about selling the car as is, replacing the trans with a stock one and put my stall in it if it is still good (estimating around $1k parts and labor), or replace the trans with a built one and use my stall or a new one (estimating $2k to $3k).

I'm thinking if I can get outta this situation with the car as is for the right price then I would. What do you all think is a fair price for my car right now and if you are willing an estimate with the trans fixed. I'm really looking at getting into an 06 GTO if possible.

Thanks

I would try to demod a little and use that money to fix the trans and then you will get more money for it
